[A case report of one-stage repair for transposition of the great arteries with intact ventricular septum and coarctation of the aorta in neonate].
We report a neonatal case of one-stage repair for transposition of the great arteries with intact ventricular septum (TGA with IVS) and coarctation of the aorta (CoA). The surgery was performed at 27 days of age when the patient, a male, weighed 3408 g. Preoperative cardiac catheterization and angiography confirmed the diagnosis of TGA with IVS, CoA, atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, persistent left superior vena cava, left sided juxta-positioning of appendages and dextrocardia. The procedure was simultaneous subclavian flap aortoplasty through a left thoracotomy and an arterial switch operation through a median sternotomy. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful and he has grown well. Postoperative cardiac catheterization revealed mild pulmonary stenosis (pressure gradient of 19 mmHg between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery) and mild aortic arch kinking from the arterial switch maneuver. One-stage repair, the combination of subclavian flap aortoplasty and arterial switch operation, provides a good clinical result in this complex malformation.
